[Mpls] Please attend next Park Board commissioners meeting, March 3

[Annie Young]

I certainly appreciate people's interest in Park Board meetings as of 
late.  But Chris makes the following statement in his post:

>Until the Park Board begins televising their public meetings, it is
>essential that members of the public attend these meetings.

All I can say is I hope people will keep coming - TV or no TV.... it just 
isn't the same. Kind of like talking to a person on the phone or sitting 
down talking face to face....it just isn't quite the same sitting in a 
chair watching the action.  It just isn't.
And you don't need to tell me all the reasons it needs to be on - and all 
the times you'll watch because you have other things to do on Wednesdays 
nights - etc. - I know all those lines already.  I think both should happen.
TV is not the answer to good communication between the Board and the 
citizens.  It will sure help though.
